Nothing Has Meaning

Yeah I like to pretend I am worldly. Yeah, I do what I want, say so, and speak the truth.

I like to pretend I am worldly to my nephew, he needs advice, if not me than who?

Yeah. I have been fighting my destiny. Find and fulfill your destiny Zeus once said in the Clash of the Titans. Of course, Zeus was referring to Perseus.

I don’t really mean to fight my destiny, it’s just that I am lazy. Well, not lazy, just lackadaisical. Not invested. Carefree. In fact, there is not destiny. In fact, there is only truth. Oh darn, here I go again.

The term in fact really doesn’t mean in fact, in the sense of residing within fact. It means truthfully. But what if we think of it meaning residing within fact? Residing within fact, is truth, always present, always consistent, rarely observed. So inside of fact, there is no destiny, there is nothing, only truth.

So to think I have a destiny is foolhardy and fraudulent, and I know it.

I was just thinking, only thinking. Fantasizing. Proselytizing.

The wanna be writer mouths the words while writing. The wanna be writer can’t really write. The wanna be writer writes anyway ignorant of any shortcoming. The wanna be writer gets published. The wanna be writer makes bank.

The genius writer, goes unheeded and unheralded while suffering in pain.

The visionary enlightened writer, doesn’t write. Or do they?

Joe Middleton inspired this one. In fact, Joe said this.

The line of discussion was a facetious rant about how the men are never the problem, it’s the women. This was in reference to a divorce nearby where they have small children and are building a new home and the wife up and left, so to speak. I was calling Joe’s recent wife leaving cake in reference to this divorce. Then I mentioned that it’s never the men who cause this stuff, only the women. And the quote was born.

The joke is that the men are perfect and the woman are problematic.

We are never the problem, to us.

Well. I can’t really say that I know what the heck this one is to be about but I have plenty to not say about what I am not saying.

Truth versus fact. See, there is no difference. Jerry Howe refers to truth as each person’s perception of things, events for example. I differ in that I see his definition of truth for what it is, opinion. Jerry says facts are the solid indisputable things such as gravity, I say facts are the truth.

For example, using my favorite metaphor, trees, if I believe the tree standing 10 feet from me is not a tree, that is untrue. I mean, believe it is, say, a dog. Jerry would call that belief the truth, for Mark or whoever. I would call that opinion. Now, the tree exists, true. I call that a true fact, Jerry calls that a fact. Semantics, I know, point being that perception of things doesn’t change things. They are what they are. What you see, what you can see, seeing the truth is what this entire diary is about.

Obviously, Jerry is wrong and I am right. Haha.

Ain’t that the truth.

A sort of play on words here. Be Off Every Day, Off Every Day and computer practices.

So if we leave the arena of computers, we then look at the words in wonder. Back up? Every day? Turn back? Why?

The answer if of course, why not. But where do you go? Back to where?

Obviously, you ain’t going nowhere. Just a little thought. Think before you leap. Or suffer the consequences. On the other hand, react naturally, fluidly, like water, and fear nothing. Take your pick. I prefer water mixed with ponder.
